Tired of old, laggy, or pay-to-win servers? Velocity is fresh and new!
If you want a place where you can make your mark, this is it!
Lodestone is a Minecraft geopolitics and worldbuilding server that is going into a closed beta. It tries to give a fresh twist on the usual town and war style.
The main thing I noticed is the spice trade system. You harvest different spices and sell them at spawn and the land you control changes how good your spices are. This makes people want to fight over the best land so the economy and wars actually feel connected.
The server also uses Towny so players can make towns and nations and go to war with each other. There are chest shops so anyone can set up a shop with a chest and a sign and trade items with other players.
There is also Auraskills so you can level up a bunch of skills and unlock different abilities as you play. It fits the worldbuilding and war style because you keep growing your character over time.
To join right now you have to get into the closed beta by applying through their discord and then you can get the server IP from the how to play channel.
UneasyVanilla is a Minecraft server that mixes semi anarchy with normal survival so it feels wild but not totally crazy.
The world has been running for over 4 years so everything feels really lived in. Spawn is totally wrecked and covered in lavacasts so your first challenge is just escaping the chaos. Once you get out you can travel far away build bases and explore like a normal survival world.
The server tries to stay close to the original Minecraft vision so it feels very vanilla. There are rules but they are simple and mostly there to keep the server running well and to keep cheaters out. Staff are active and ban hackers fast so fights and raids feel more fair.
The community is pretty tight and relaxed. You can run into random players start alliances or get into surprise battles while exploring. Some people team up for big building projects and others just wander and survive on their own.
If you want a long term vanilla world with a rough spawn and a bit of lawless energy UneasyVanilla is a cool place to try.
CobbleCove SMP is a relaxed community driven Minecraft realm. It is made for people who just want to play survival with others and chill. There are no cheats so everyone plays fair and earns their stuff.
Spawn is also the official shopping district. Players build their own shops and trade with each other. The whole marketplace grows over time and sits right in the center of the world. It feels like a little town that everyone helps build.
The server has a long term world so your base and projects are meant to last. People work on community projects and big builds together. The whole vibe is friendly respectful and calm.
They are looking for all kinds of players. Builders explorers redstone players and casual players who just love Minecraft. If you want a survival realm with a player run economy and a chill community CobbleCove Season One is all about that.
FrostboundSMP is a small semi vanilla server that is still pretty new. It is meant for players who are 18 or older and it is only for non binary players and people who identify as female. The vibe feels calm and welcoming and it is not super sweaty or hardcore.
From what I have seen most of the server is simple survival with a light semi vanilla style. They host weekly events so there is always something to look forward to and it helps people get to know each other better. The server is not crowded and the most people online at once so far was about eight but there are around thirty people in the community already.
If you want a place that feels more like a small friend group instead of a giant public server this one fits that pretty well. It is nice for players who just want to chill and build and hang out with other older players in a space made for non binary and women players.
This is a chill Java SMP that uses a vanilla plus style modpack. It feels like regular Minecraft but with a few extra things to make it more fun.
There is a claim system so your builds are safe and protected. PVP is allowed but only outside of claims so you do not lose your stuff in your own base. The server owner says the world will never reset so you can work on long term builds without worrying.
There are about ten active players right now and around twenty members total. It feels like a small and relaxed community where people just play and hang out together.
